When our leadership debated between on-prem and cloud deployment for S/4HANA, I was asked to weigh in. This post explains why we chose SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, and how it changed my role as a Basis admin.
Subtopics & Answers:
Deployment options explained On-prem, public cloud, private cloud — I break down the differences.
Why private cloud made sense for us We needed control, compliance, and flexibility — without full infrastructure overhead.
How Basis responsibilities shift in the cloud Less OS-level work, more focus on monitoring, integration, and SLAs.
Working with hyperscalers and SAP ECS I share how we coordinated with Azure and SAP’s Enterprise Cloud Services team.
Security, backups, and patching in the cloud Automated but still needs oversight — I explain what admins still manage.
What I miss (and love) about cloud Basis work No more hardware headaches, but deeper collaboration with functional teams.
